Re: ASG/Mobius
To save a little searching, the relevant IBM program number is probably 5655-TF2 (for AFP to PCL transformation). AFP to PDF and AFP to Postscript are other options -- change the last digit in the program number to 1 or 3. Another possibility is IBM Content Manager OnDemand for z/OS which includes AFP to PDF transformation and which has many other capabilities for centralized management of reports and other content. (Do consider cost savings associated with not printing and e-delivery. Print differently may be tempting, but print less or print not at all should be even more compelling.)

Re: ASG/Mobius
Not sure if these fit your needs but products like VPS (LRS), Infoprint Server (IBM), and I think MacKinney has something. These products have components (probably optional, priced) that can transform various input to various output formats. I do not have any of these products but AFAIK they might do what you want/need.

Re: ASG/Mobius
Ron, Mobius does not support that ability. If the data is in AFP format in Mobius (mainframe), then the output from Mobius via normal distribution on the mainframe will be in AFP output. Now the web viewer will use the built in AFP viewer to display the data and then print from there. There is not a way to batch print from Mobius into PDF, PCL, etc. from the mainframe. We just went through this last year as we are getting ride of Mobius and wanted a batch way to get the print out for migration. We purchased Crawford Technologies Workflow JES with AFP to PDF conversion to do the trick. We batch print Mobius with all AFP resources and run it through Workflow JES to create the PDF.
